Curly Regency Up-Do

This is a tutorial for a regency hairstyle that was inspired by Elizabeth Bennet’s hair in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice BBC mini series. Enjoy!

Let’s begin.

Step one ~ Part the front section of your hair beginning from behind your ears to the top of your head on both sides, then tie them out of the way for now.

Step two ~ Tie the back section of your hair in a high pony tail and divide a small section at the top and tie it out of the way for now.

Just before we go on, if you don’t want the face framing curls in this hairstyle, grab your two front sections then twist them a little and wrap them around your pony tail’s hair tie.

Step Three ~ With the hair in the larger section of the pony tail divide it into three sections, two of them will be equal amounts and one slightly larger. Grab one of the smaller sections, then twist it a little and wrap it around your hair tie pinning as you go.

Grab the other smaller section and repeat the last step.

Step four ~ Now grab the larger section and repeat the last step, make sure all the ends are tucked in.

Step five ~ Now grab the small section (that we tied off from the start) and divide it into two sections then curl them both. Try to intertwine them together after curling.

Step six ~ Section some small neat parts in the front face sections and divide that section further into three, then curl them.

Step seven ~ Continue until all hair is curled.

Step eight ~ If your curls are too long pin one of the upper or middle kinks of the curl to your head.

This is my go-to hairdo for anything regency/victorian I’m doing. 😀 I usually don’t do a very elaborate bun, as my hair is hidden in a bonnet for the most part, but your tips on the curled front sections are very helpful!

Hi Mergina!! Thank you for your comment!! At the moment I’m not planning on doing any tutorials about curling, maybe in the future though 😉 You could try Googling How to curl your hair with rags. I’m sure some great results will come up. I hope this helps and thanks so much again!! Samantha

Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but
after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new
to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

This is a wonderful tutorial! I am playing Lizzie Bennett in our school’s production of Pride and Prejudice and I have been looking everywhere for a great hair tutorial like this one, this helps so much!! And it’s so close to the hair for the BBC series. Thank you 🙂

The Happiness You Already Have

Memories are treasures
that time cannot destroy,
They are the happy pathway
to yesterday's bright joy.

The Richness in Kindness

It's not fortune or fame
or worldwide acclaim
That makes for true greatness,
you'll find
It's the wonderful art
of teaching the heart
To always be thoughtful and kind!

A Prayer of Thanks

Thank You, God, for the beauty
around me everywhere,
The gentle rain and glistening dew,
the sunshine and the air,
The joyous gift of feeling
the soul's soft, whispering voice
That speaks to me from deep within
and makes my heart rejoice.

God’s Stairway

Step by step we climb day by day
Closer to God with each prayer we pray
For the cry of the heart offered in prayer
Becomes just another spiritual stair
In the heavenly staircase leading us to
A beautiful place where we live anew . . .
So never give up, for it's worth the climb
To live forever in endless time
Where the soul of man is safe and free
To live and love through eternity

The Beauty of Spring

God lives in the beauty
that comes with spring
The colourful flowers,
the birds that sing
And He lives in people
as kind as you,
And He lives in all
the nice things you do.

The World Needs Friendly Folks like You

In this troubled world
it's refreshing to find
Someone who still
has the time to be kind,
Someone who still
has the faith to believe
That the more you give,
the more you receive
Someone who's ready
by thought, word, or deed
To reach out a hand
in the hour of need.

Traveling to Heaven

Life is a highway
on which the years go by,
Sometimes the road is level,
sometimes the hills are high . . .
But as we travel onward
to a future that's unknown,
We can make each mile we travel
a heavenly stepping stone!
H.S.Rice

Take Time to Be Kind

Kindness is a virtue
given by the Lord
It pays dividends in happiness
and joy is it's reward.
For if you practice kindness
in all you say and do,
The Lord will wrap His kindness
around your heart and you.

Memory Rendezvous

Memory builds a little pathway
that goes winding through my heart.
It's lovely, quite, gentle trail
from other things apart.
I only meet when traveling there
the folks I like the best,
For this road I call "remembrance"
is hidden from the rest,
But I hope I'll always find you
in my memory rendezvous,
For I keep this little secret place
to meet with folks like you.

Finding Faith in the Flower

Sometimes when faith is running low
And I can not fathom why things are so,
I walk around the flowers that grow
And learn the answers to all I would know . . .
For among my flowers I have come to see
Life's miracle and it's mystery,
And standing in silence and reverie,
My faith comes flooding back to me.
H.S.Rice

The Garden of Friendship

There is no garden
So complete
But roses could make
The place more sweet.
There is no life
So rich and rare
But one more friend
Could enter there.
Like roses in the garden
Kindness fills the air
With a certain bit of sweetness
As it touches everywhere.
H.S.Rice

Trust God

Take heart and each minute
with faith in God's Great love,
Aware that every day of life
is controlled by God above . . .
And never dread tomorrow
or what the future brings-
Just pray for strength and courage
and trust God in all things.
H.S.Rice
